Thanks chaps- I have mostly been using the clothing colours from the stained glass window on the Wikipedia page, although you are right that the colours for Friborg shown on the table below are black and white, and presumably more correct.  But I'm not repainting them!  :-)

I don't blame you mate. It's the same with the Gonzaga vignette pic I sent you recently on FB Simon. Since it was painted, we have clearer info but there's utterly no chance of me going back and repainting it. It's staying in one of my cabinets and sitting pretty :)

Instead of repainting you could also switch the banner to Zurich  ;)

Ah but my Fribourgers are black and blue (mostly) and Zurich is blue and white.  I will be tackling Zunich in due course.

They are going to be quite a sight on the table- you just cannot beat huge units of massed ranks of pike  8)
